WHAT DOES YOUR BITCH-ASS NEED THIS TIME?! You may ask, and this is it, plain and simple:

1. Commonly used innuendo phrases: e”Toss the Salad”

2 Reappropriated words that have a new meaning, ie: “motorboating”

There are a FEW guidelines though:
1. Make sure it can be read by a kid OR adult, but EACH IN A DIFFERENT WAY, like some SpongeBob Jokes…mebbe a lil worse;)

2. Use COMMONLY known phrases, not “in-jokes” between you and your friends, or made up phrases in a sad attempt to be funny.

That’s about it, I can’t wait to see what people come up with!

Got a few ideas in the pipeline, just wait and see!

On a side note it was great meeting a whole slew of new people, seeing new faces, and just being surrounded by so many superior artists!

Mini-shout out goes to Danielle, Wally(and his other half, Jessica), Juan, Banky, Chris, David, and everyone else that made the weekend so amazing!

 Drawgasmic: 

The Drawgasmic exhibition and book is an effort to expose, promote, and push forward the work of international independent artists, illustrators, and designers working today. We, as curators, are trying to create the sort of experience we feel is missing in the in the all to often pompous and institutionalized art world. An experience that combines the talent of hundreds of great artists with a mash-up of unique performances.

We are excited to be able to document the entire collection in a quality, limited edition coffee table book. The book will exisit as a historical marker of the unique styles and concepts being created by living and working artists of 2010. This book is being released in conjunction with the exhibition in July 2010.
